_______________________________________________Trying to do my due diligence here! Anyone using someone besides Streamline? I just did a demo with them and it seems great. (Heads up the MLA discount hasn't been officially renewed for 2026 yet so they have no idea how long they are going to have that discount! It's nearly 50% savings so I am worried about getting it locked in) The price sounds pretty fair to me, but it is also 6x what we're currently paying so I want to make sure I check around. Any info is appreciated.

Subject: [Michlib-l] Re: Accessible Websites_______________________________________________I am happy to share the feedback. I have been putting together all of the comments in a document so I can do that. So far, the most popular recommendation is Streamline. And thank you to Nanette Pretzer from the St. Charles District Library for the tip on the discounts through MLA for Streamline!

Thank you for sharing! We’re also starting to think ahead about making our website compliant by April 2027. We still have some time, but we want to explore as many options as possible before diving in. Looking forward to seeing more recommendations as they come in!

I agree with Amber Hughey--great training, moved our ploud account to the new one. And made sure we had things how we wanted them, trained our whole staff. We are so happy with it and can make changes easily. Mary Barker, Pentwater Township Library.

I cannot recommend Streamline enough. They were (are still!) wonderful to work with. Customer support is great, and they implement features when requested (or are working on them). I've got the 2nd highest tier, which has most of the bells and whistles, and it's really easy to work with.
Since switching from ploud and moving to Streamline, we've been able to implement newsletters, online program registration forms, and just so much more and so much easier to use.
They are now offering PDF/doc support as well, but we do that in-house thanks to a great staff member.
You can check out our streamline website at www.bridgeportlibrary.org
Hope this helps!

To the Collective Michigan Library Mind,
We are starting to plan for the accessible website requirement coming up in April 2026 for those of you with populations over 50,000, and in April 2027 for those of us, like our district, that serves under 50,000.
We currently use Ploud, and it's okay, but we want to explore other options and are hoping for some suggestions, insights, sites to avoid at all costs, etc. Please share your Good, Bad, and Ugly stories about website design companies.
One site we are looking at in particular is Streamline. We have heard some good things about the ease of their site for the user and for making sure it meets the requirements. If you have had first-hand experience with Streamline, I would appreciate your thoughts on it as an actual user.
Thank you, and Happy Fig Newton Day!
